This is Barnaby, an owlin who accidentally became a warlock and is now off to Evermeet to discover the terms of his pact and find something to get back into Candlekeep. A shame he'll never get there...
After running a few games, I'm glad to be able to be a player in a D&D game. Stay tuned!

Look, sometimes posting here can be a grind, but you have to jump in feet first and everything will come out fine on the other side
First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

This thread explains a bunch of things about this shot I sort of knew had to be more complicated than even the behind-the-scenes material was going to get into. (I didn't even know roto splitscreens like this were doable then or if it was still the age of a locked-off camera with a black matte etc.)
The double splitscreen shot from 1:13-1:42 is one of the most insane shots created during the photochemical era.
You’ve got a real woman fondling Maroon and Valiant at both ends of the shot, with the woman’s body hidden by splitscreens that run along the edges of the fluted columns in the BG…

:gasp: Who could have foreseen this? Who could have guessed that having jack-booted thugs without proper identification overzealously "enforcing" missives from an unhinged elected official would result in problem after problem? If only we could have avoided this!
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.
By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

you pay for WIC and you’ve never used it. Millions of people have never been on a plane and still pay for all the federal government functions at an airport that keep you safe whenever you take a flight. We live in a society. Everything isn’t for you. Get over it.

Want to get Americans off SNAP?
Well, if the minimum wage had kept up with inflation and productivity, it would be $26 an hour. That would remove 13 million workers from food stamps overnight.
Start there.
